North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) is seeking bids for the replacement and upgrade of existing air handling units (AHUs) in the ELC-2 building complex at the O'Berry Neuro-Medical Treatment Center in Wayne County, North Carolina. The project involves replacing four multi-zone central station AHUs with new constant air volume AHUs with zone reheat coils, and four single zone blower coil units serving the unit entry and dining spaces, including associated ductwork, piping, DDC controls, electrical, fire alarm devices, and interior finish upgrades. Sealed bids will be received until 3:00 PM on April 18, 2024 at the O'Berry Neuro-Medical Treatment Center, and a mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on March 28, 2024 at the same location. The contract will be awarded as a single prime Mechanical Construction contract, and the bid proposal must include the Identification of Minority Business Participation form and either Affidavit A or B. Contractors must have the proper North Carolina General Contractor's license, and the contract award will require a 5% bid deposit, a 100% performance bond, and a 100% payment bond.

The contract is open to any qualified bidder, but the NC DHHS has set aside participation for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and encourages their participation. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and payment will be made at 95% of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance of the work. The project budget is not explicitly stated, but typical for a project of this scope and scale.
